I have a 74 year old that has Part A of Medicare only and was just terminated from his job. They have offered him Cobra. His boss told him that he had a special 8 month period to enroll in Part B of Medicare.
Does anyone know if the new subsidy would apply to him if he took Cobra. It seems like I read that if you were eligible for Medicare it wouldn't apply.
Also, what are the rules on applying for Part B of Medicare and Cobra. I don't run across this too often. He lost his coverage March 30th and he has until June 1st he said to enroll with Cobra or go with a Med supp instead.
Cobra premium $220 a month, not too bad when compared to regular Cobra premiums that I've seen.
